zRave has never succumbed to passing pop-trends and poseur politics. They are brash, sophisticated, outrageous individuals creating a haven untainted by western socio-economic, patriarchal or religious standards.

They adventure through sound like an exotic acrobat-- intense, poetic, and, at moments, surreal. They shun mediocrity steering dangerously close to the edge and gliding with grace directly OVER THE TOP.

OVER THE TOP, the first fruit of this ambitious foursome, is a boldly unabashed collection that renders the competition impotent. The listener is treated to heart-felt lyrics and soaring guitars in "Dark Side" and "Gravity & Angels". An integration of beatnik-rap and upbeat rhythms announce the punchy urban tale "Female Thang". An intimate portrait of an exploited woman's internal struggle and rage unfolds in "Centerfold".

Then there are the heart-wrenching ballads, the ranting and raving punk anthems, the slinky cabaret jazz, and other moments that boast a full-bodied sweep of a film soundtrack. Quite simply, this act is irreverent about easy categorization.

zRave. Provocative, devastating, articulate, innovative... zLightful. zLicious. In short - OVER THE TOP.
